Night of the Dead Server Hosting, Explained

What is Night of the Dead?

New to Night of the Dead?

What is Night of the Dead?

Night of the Dead is an open-world zombie game from Jackto Studios that mixes exploration, base building, crafting, automation and tower defense. By day you explore grassland, desert and snowfield, clear dungeons, find equipment and recruit followers. By night the zombies swarm your base in waves, with giant zombies in some of them, so you build a fortress, craft traps and turrets, and fight with melee weapons, firearms and heavy weapons. Play the story alone, or survive it with friends.

Build a Fortress.

Walls, traps and automated production keep you alive through every night wave.

Giant Zombies.

Bosses like the Three Headed Smasher join the waves and roam the world.

Why rent a server?

What is Night of the Dead Server Hosting?

A game hosted from the menu only runs while the host is playing, and the night waves run on their PC. A Night of the Dead dedicated server keeps your island online around the clock instead, so your group can play on their own schedules. On our servers you set the name, passwords, player limit, PvE or PvP, difficulty and world save in the panel, tune the rules and Custom difficulty in the config editor, and get full file access over SFTP and SSH.

Always Online.

Your fortress stays up when you log off, so friends can join any time.

Full Control.

Set the difficulty, waves, rules and passwords, and pick PvE or PvP.
